Please explain gas prices to me

how can USA gas go up and down on a whim?

Down .21 + cents a gallon in the last 2 weeks.


Note in "poor" Tennessee, it's almost into the $2 a gallon price at $3.11 a gallon (middle of Tennessee is about as far away as you can get from any sea port or refinery I'm guessing)

But in San Francisco it's a nation high of $4.05?


I'm sure being just 2 weeks before a presidental election doesn't have anything to do with this?

5% gas price fall in 2 weeks?

and the big oil companies will make 100 BILLION in PROFITS in 2012?
